I am trying to understand the reasoning behind statements made by people like the one that wrote this column.

Although there are always fringe people who show up in any group, the Tea Party movement is about less taxes, or no increased taxes specifically and promoting a cultural shift toward a government that serves the people rather than people serving the government.

The controversy over the budget is an example of how skewed our arguments can become. But, there is obviously something far deeper here than basic party politics.

It is obvious to anyone who manages a household budget that we can't stay on the path congress has chosen for us over the years and the tea party caucus is holding fast to the contention that we must face reality. Many in congress and folks like the writer of this column seem to staunchly believe that we can just keep spending, writing hoot checks and getting new credit cards to pay off the old credit cards.

They are so fixed on the belief that there is no need for responsibility that they are willing to attack and slander anyone speaking of responsible fiscal management. - At least that's the way it looks to my simple mind.

So where I get stuck is trying to assess what the folks on the left , the writer of this column and the defenders of democrat thought like the MSM commentators envision for the long run. What are they working for as the America of the coming decade or beyond?

That's because he isn't doing "debate" or "reasoning" or "discussion" or "advocacy".

The article is pure, murder-hearted destructive black propaganda against a hated Other. This person is your deadly enemy, and he comes before the public encrusted with public honors and trusted offices bestowed by Ted Kennedy, who was accustomed to having private, off-the-record, closed-door meetings with people like Anatoliy Dobrynin and Yuri Andropov, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

That's where this guy is coming from. He is a blackhearted traitor, and you are a patriot. He hates you as soon as he identifies you. There is no discussion. Capiche?
